Just a thought....Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
"The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be." Robert Fulghum
Reminds me of the story of the water bearer in India with the cracked pot. :)
ReplyDeleteI've always liked that story too : )
ReplyDeleteYou ladies might need to tell that story, I don't know of it :) So true, if we water where we are, and cultivate contentment, then the grass is always green right under our feet!
ReplyDeleteHere y'go, Faye. It's one of my faves. :) http://geminaigraphics.multiply.com/journal/item/473
ReplyDeleteIn my observation Erma Bombeck had it right: the grass is always greener over the sceptic tank.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote. I also carry a can of green spraypaint, just in case the water evaporates ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this quote! And it's so true! =)
ReplyDeleteThe grass may be different, though. That's what I always got out of that saying...not that it was "greener" but better/different. I usually want someone else's grass because I'm tired of my own.
ReplyDeleteKippy, that was a nice Cracked Pot story :)
